X Platform's crypto community is embroiled in conflict: Can high-frequency interactions truly promote growth?

【Blockchain Rhythm】 Recently, the crypto community has been buzzing on X platform. The incident originated from a viewpoint by X’s product lead and Solana advisor Nikita Bier, who believes that there has been a “lie” circulating in the crypto Twitter (CT) circle over the past six months — that replying hundreds of times daily can lead to account growth.

But Nikita Bier’s logic is this: every time you post, it consumes some of your influence for the day, and ordinary users typically scroll through only 20-30 posts a day. The platform’s algorithm simply can’t deliver all of a user’s posts to their followers. What does this lead to? Many crypto users pour all their influence into high-frequency replies like “gm,” but when they actually publish project announcements or valuable content, few people see it.

Nikita Bier even put it more bluntly — the decline of crypto Twitter isn’t due to algorithm issues, but because of the behavioral patterns within the crypto community itself. He used a rather extreme statement: “CT is dying from suicide.”

Once this was said, the crypto community was unhappy. LedgArt co-founder KALEO came out to oppose, criticizing Nikita Bier for not considering the user perspective, for not supporting long-term active user growth, and for attempting to suppress the crypto ecosystem on X. KALEO even directly called for Nikita Bier to resign. Afterwards, Nikita Bier deleted the tweet.

This controversy actually reflects a deeper issue: there is a tension between the platform’s traffic mechanism design and the actual needs of users. For the crypto community, high-frequency interaction is indeed a common way to build influence, but whether this method is truly efficient and how much efficiency is lost are questions that still need further discussion. The dialogue between the platform and active users seems far from over.
